With 2.1 it was cumbersome to keep all of your apps up to date. In 2.2 Apple brings back the Update All button, which does what it indicates. No more jumping between App Store and Home screen will be necessary. You will also find that with 2.2 the applications get updated right where they are on your Home screen.

The Home button got smarter with firmware 2.2

Although only about 0.79 (74 / 10,000 * 100 = 0.79) per cent of all App Store applications are installed on my iPhone, it got crowded: five pages filled with 74 icons. If you need to get from your last installed application to the very first, that means a lot of swiping. But Apple made the Home button even more intelligent with 2.2. When you are on one of your Home screens (where your application icons are) a press of the Home button will propel you right to the first Home screen. Maybe this will convince you to finally upgrade.

When you were writing SMS with more than four lines on the iPhone you might have noticed a little problem. With firmware versions 2.0 and 2.1 it was impossible to scroll up to the beginning of the message. This is fixed in version 2.2. Maybe this will convince you to finally upgrade.
